===Area overview===
Jhargram subdivision, the only one in Jhargram district, shown in the map alongside, is composed of hills, mounds and rolling lands. It is rather succinctly described in the ''District Human Development Report'', 2011 (at that time it was part of Paschim Medinipur district), "The western boundary is more broken and picturesque, for the lower ranges of the Chhotanagpur Hills line the horizon, the jungle assumes the character of forest, and large trees begin to predominate. The soil, however, is lateritic, a considerable area is unproductive, almost uninhabited, especially in the extreme north-west where there are several hills over 1000 feet in height. The remainder of the country is an almost level plain broken only by the sand hills".<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.wbpspm.gov.in/publications/District%20Human%20Development%20Report| title = District Human Development Report Paschim Medinipur, 2011| work= pages 4-5|publisher = Department of Planning and Statistics, Government of West Bengal |access-date = 10 September 2020}}</ref> 3.48% of the population lives in urban areas and 96.52% lives in the rural areas. 20.11% of the total population belonged to [[Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes|scheduled castes]] and 29.37% belonged to [[Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes|scheduled tribes]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.wbpspm.gov.in/publications/District%20Statistical%20Handbook | title = District Statistical Handbook Paschim Medinipur, 2013| work= Table 2.2, 2.4 (a)| publisher = Department of Planning and Statistics |access-date = 10 September 2020}}</ref>
